The blossoming cricketing career of Mohammed Siraj has not only caused his father Mohammed Ghaus to stop driving an auto rickshaw for a living in Hyderabad. The medium pacer's brother Ismail too has made a change to his profession. Ismail, who worked with an Information Technology firm in Bangalore, has quit his job and is now Siraj's manager. Ismail along with his three cousins - Mohammed Amjad, Sayyad Mujahid and Sayyad Wasiullaha - was at D Road, Wankhede Stadium yesterday to watch Siraj bowl in the third and final T20 international against Sri Lanka.
